Data were analyzed by using chisquare, t-test and pearson correlation coefficient in SPSS 11.5.Findings: A total of 71.1% subjects were NURSES and 28.9% were students. Most of them had not been trained about professional laws and regulations and 95.6% expressed the need for more knowledge and education about professional rules and regulations. None of the subjects was fully aware of the professional rules. Totally the NURSES got 49.43%±8.88% of the total score and the students 48.61% ±8.31% of the score. The highest score was in the domain of the patients' rights (59.9%) and the lowest score was in the domain of types of professional crimes and negligence (36.4%).Conclusion: The knowledge of NURSES and nursing students in the field of professional regulation was at the level of weak to moderate.
